The above was accessible only with a (paid)subscription to the WSJ. Here is
one which gives more details.
Vista letter MEPs back local delicacies
http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=34261
The Inquirer is down at this very moment, so all I can see is the excerpt in
my feed reader:
"IT SEEMS that the three MEPs from the UK angry with European regulators over
its treatment of Microsoft don?t mind the odd bit of interventionism where
it suits them."
...Could indeed be, as you suggest, Microsoft sock puppets. I have
noticed--and therefore assume--that they have had removed the leaked
Microsoft UK training video (The Office cast). I can't seem to find it.
Distrubing evidence... politics and tricks that drive business. Nepotism
culture.
Best wishes,
Roy
